SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 659,974, dated October 16, 1900.

Application filed June 21, 1897.

To all whmn it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN H. HUSSIE, residing at Omaha, in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have in vented certain useful Improvements in Saw-Cabinets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertaius to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention has relation to a new and novel improvement in display-cabinets, the objectbeing more particularly to provide a cabinet for the display of saws.

The aim of my invention is to provide a case that shall be neat and sightly and in which the saws may be held in a neat and compact form and in such a way that they may be readily shown to a prospective purchaser.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a partly-central sectional view of a sawcabinet embodying my invention. Fig. 2 shows a detached top View of the lower supportingtable. Fig. 3 shows an approximatelysectional top view of my saw-cabinet. Fig. 4. shows a broken detail disclosing the arrangement of one of the holders used to retain the saw-handles, while Fig. 5 shows a top view of the intermediate supporting-disk as used in my invention.

Ordinarily where the dealer has his saws in simple packages they have each got to be unwrapped to disclose them to a purchaser, so that considerable space is required, first, to exhibit the different makes and grades of saws, and, secondly, the saws have got to be kept within wrapped packages to keep them bright. To overcome this objection, I prepare a cabinet in which the saws may be position ed according to their grade or price and which is provided with a series of revolublysupported holders, so that each and every grade of saw may be slowly brought before the prospective purchaser in the neatest and most compact form.

A represents a bottom of a suitable conformation and preferably in the shape of an octagon, which is provided below with a suitable molding 1, from which extend eight Serial No. 641,711. (No model.)

posts 2, between which are held glass panels, one set of posts, however, being provided with an ordinary door 21, supported by means of the hinges 4. Both of these posts are united by an ordinary molding 3, as is shown more clearly in Fig. 1.

Removably held within the upper molding 3 is a top 8, provided with a central opening, and below, secured to the base-plate A, is preferably an iron support 5, within which is held the point 6 of a suitable post B, which has a reduced end 7 at its upper end, passing through the top 8, so that this post B is revolubly supported by its lower point 6 within the plate 5 and within the upper top 8, as shown.

Secured to the post 13, near the bottom, is a supporting-table E,preferably circular, which is provided with a series of cleats a, between two of which are adapted to be held the handles of a suitable saw .2. Near the upper end is secured to the post B a second table 0, pro- 'vided with a series of slots, as is shown in Fig. 3, within which slots are held the saws, as shown at 00 in Fig. 1.

Intermediately positioned between the ca ble E and the upper table 0 is preferably a wood disk D, which is provided with a series of incisions e, the incisions within this disk D, which is preferably of metal, corresponding to the slots within the upper table C and to the spaces between the cleats a, so that the series of saws depending from the upper table will be held within this plate, as will also the blades of the saws ,2, which stand upon the handle between the cleats a, as is shown in Fig. 1.

The saws can be positioned so that the teeth extend outward, as is shown at on, or they may also be positioned so that their backs extend outward, as is shown at z in Fig. 1.

Now the grade or price, or both, of the saws within the respective racks can be affixed to the tables, so that as the revolving holders are turned the grade and price can be slowly brought before the purchaser, as well as the article itself.

To remove a saw, it is simply necessary to bring it opposite the door 21, when the same may be opened and the saw be removed either from the upper or lower table. Should through any cause a saw within the upper table 0 be accidentally caught, the top 8 may be removed, so that the saws may be removed from above. This'removable top also enables the stand to be readily inserted, the whole forming a neat and sightly and practical device.

Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is

In a display-cabinet of the character described,having a removable top, of a post revolubly held within the bottom of the cabinet and said removable top, a table secured to the lower end of said post, provided with a series of pockets each adapted to hold a saw- JOHN H. HUSSIE.
